Notes

Japheth B Tugume, a district coordinator of the Bushenyi District Farmers Association in Uganda, talks of priority setting (see article above) as a question of attitude: 'I have always wondered why the perception of stakeholders is always targeted to the contrary of what we want them to achieve look at our appeal for simple irrigation. In Uganda the dry season means a period of no green vegetables on the homestead, and so a balanced diet cannot be achieved. It means that those very few who can grow a few vegetables get better prices. But the question is: Why should these beloved citizens draw several jerry cans of water for home use but cannot save one for watering at least ten tomatoes?'
